We, Wolf ButterBack KG, Magazinstraße 77, 90763 Fürth, Germany, take the protection of your personal data very seriously. In the following, we will inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data when using the website www.butterback.de.

We process your data in accordance with the applicable legal provisions for the protection of personal data, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR) and the country-specific implementation laws applicable to us.

Personal data are those pieces of information that make it possible to identify a natural person. This includes in particular your name, date of birth, address, telephone number, e-mail address as well as your IP address.

Data can be considered anonymous when no personal reference to the user can be established.

First of all, we would like to inform you of your rights as a data subject. These rights are standardised in Art. 15 - 22 EU-GDPR and include:

The right to information (Art. 15 EU-GDPR)

The right to erasure (Art. 17 EU-GDPR)

The right to rectification (Art. 16 EU-GDPR)

The right to data portability (Art. 20 EU-GDPR)

The right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 EU-GDPR)

The right to object to data processing (Art. 21 EU-GDPR)

To exercise these rights, please contact datenschutz@butterback.de. The same applies if you have questions about data processing in our company. You also have the right to complain or appeal to a data protection regulatory body.

If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to this form of data processing at any time without having to state your reasons. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to direct advertising.

If you object to your data being used for direct marketing, we will no longer process your personal data for this purpose. Your right to object is free of charge and can be made informally, if possible to: datenschutz@butterback.de.

In the event that we process your data to safeguard legitimate interests, you may object to such processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

When processing your personal data, we comply with the provisions of the EU-GDPR and all other applicable data protection regulations. The legal bases for the processing of data stem in particular from Art. 6 EU-GDPR.

We use your data to initiate business, to fulfil contractual and legal obligations, to implement the contractual relationship, to offer products and services and to strengthen customer relations, which may also include analyses for marketing purposes and direct advertising.

Your consent is also required under data protection regulations. We will inform you in this context of the purpose of data processing and your right to withdrawal. Should the consent also include the processing of special categories of personal data, we will expressly point this out to you in the consent process.

A processing of special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 EU-GDPR will only take place if this is necessary due to legal regulations and there is no reason to assume that your legitimate interest in the exclusion of data processing prevails.

We will only pass on your data to third parties within the framework of the legal provisions or with your consent. Otherwise, your data will not be passed on to third parties unless we are obliged to do so due to mandatory legal provisions (passing on to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or criminal prosecution authorities).

We store your data for as long as it is needed for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods require that data continues to be/must be stored. This applies in particular to storage obligations embedded in commercial law or tax law (e.g. Commercial Code, Tax Code, etc.). If there are no further storage obligations, the data is routinely deleted once the purpose has been fulfilled.

In addition, we may store data if you have given us permission to do so or if legal disputes arise and we use evidence within the framework of statutory limitation periods, which can last up to thirty years; the regular limitation period is three years.

In order to best protect the data stored with us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons, we employ appropriate technical and organisational security measures. The security levels are continuously reviewed in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards.

The exchange of data from and to our website is always encrypted. We offer HTTPS as the transmission protocol for our website, in each case using the latest encryption protocols. The decryption of this data can only be carried out by us. Alternative means of communication may also be used (e.g. by post).

Certain personal details are necessary for the establishment, performance and termination of the contractual relationship and the fulfilment of the associated contractual and legal obligations. The same applies to the use of our website and the various functions it provides.

We have summarised the details for you in the above point. In certain cases, data must also be collected or made available in accordance with legal requirements. Please note that it is not possible to process your enquiry or carry out the underlying contractual obligation without providing this data..
